Hotel Babylon is alive with treasure hunters following the posthumous publication of a famous thief's autobiography, as the drama continues. In the book, it is claimed that he hid a stash of valuable emeralds in the hotel, years ago.

The hotel staff also join the hunt and, having discovered a secret room in the basement, a heavily pregnant Anna is determined to secure the precious stones for herself. That is until Ben spills the beans to the rest of the gang and Anna is rumbled. Events take a twist when Anna goes into labour and Tony's secret plan seems set to come to fruition when a familiar face returns to the hotel.

Elsewhere, Gino thinks he's helping Arthur Barnes, a scruffy chap, to live out his final days at Babylon but, to his horror, he realises that his trust has been betrayed in the most sinister way.

Meanwhile, Juliet gives Tony the task of looking after Constance Evergreen, a senile old movie star who is proving such a handful that Tony's secret plan threatens to collapse.
